It has to feel right for you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825742 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 21:58:29 +0000 jill58 1825742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, everything looks great! I might hesitate on the sweater only because I'm not crazy about the side view and swingy tops in general.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825729 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 21:08:16 +0000 Lisa 1825729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous peplum jacket. &nbsp;I think it looks different enough from your older 1 to justify keeping it. &nbsp;I don't mind the VC top on you, but I like the blousey over a slim bottom style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825646 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 18:16:50 +0000 JAileen 1825646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in the new jacket.

When I looked at the Aquatalia boots - I didn't like them because the buckle made noise when I walked. Noisy clothes are a no go for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825618 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 17:09:01 +0000 Anonymous 1825618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No.1 so sublime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825617 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 17:05:58 +0000 Dianna 1825617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the RT jacket on you.&nbsp; It doesn't look very similar to your other jacket, just same color palette.&nbsp; I also liked how the polka dot blouse fits you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825607 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 16:45:04 +0000 Laura G 1825607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The RT jacket is beautiful on you, and so is the polka dot blouse!

It's stunning, and looks amazing on you. Agree that the other jacket looks more equestrian, a completely different look. I find it always helps to style blouses with toppers before making decisions about them. Blouses, especially, are often supporting pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825599 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 16:29:19 +0000 Beth 1825599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, maybe I need to rethink my tolerance. With the combination of being very short waisted and somewhat busty, it doesn't take much for me to look blocky in the torso, which gives rise to Fear of Excessive Volume. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825595 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 16:25:17 +0000 Suz 1825595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the polka dot blouse on you! It's beautiful. But I have high tolerance for swing and volume.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also love the jacket and think it is completely different from the Smythe. One is equestrian and one more feminine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825591 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 16:17:50 +0000 Beth 1825591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, so the trend is to keep the RT jacket. Which is what I really want to do. It is gorgeous...the next head to head will be with the VB knit moto, which arrives tomorrow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, yes exactly! The Aquatalias do feel heavy and a bit stiff, which was a surprise since my tall Aquatalias feel so light. They need to be comfortable for miles of walking, and they're definitely not in that category. I'm off to check out the suede booties instead; thanks for the direction.</p> <p>I'm thinking hard about what everybody is saying re. the VC polka dot blouse. I'm trying to add different silhouettes to my closet (thus the La Vie sweater), maybe I'll try styling the VC top before completely counting it out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825587 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 16:08:05 +0000 nicoleb 1825587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh gosh i love that polka dot blouse on you! And it seems like everyone else does too. Maybe let it sit for just a bit and try on again before you return?&nbsp;</p> <p>I also agree with the others that both jackets are different enough to have both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825582 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 16:00:48 +0000 deb 1825582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP the jacket! (sorry to yell) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825580 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:57:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1825580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is gorgeous on you, Beth. I can see how the polka dot blouse might not be what you're looking for, though it looks cute in the photos.&nbsp; The striped sweater is fun; I might pair it with sneakers, too, for a very casual look. Side shots are hard; I don't even think models look good in them. And who really looks at us that way? If we see someone from the side, there is usually some movement involved, so clothes don't look like tents as they do in photos. <br />The new jacket is a keep, in my view. Totally different from the Smythe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825577 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:49:47 +0000 Anonymous 1825577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The RT is completely different but I do like the Smythe better (arms look a little nicer).</p> <p>I actually really love the polkadot blouse, but you can tell better whether it is too blousy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825575 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:45:50 +0000 Angie 1825575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The RT jacket is Killer Sublime. It's sooo different to our Smythe. </p> <p>I found those Aquatalias a little heavy. Try the lower heeled suede option. </p> <p>The blouse is great - but you have to like the voluminous vibe. It's a look. But perhaps not your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825574 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:41:54 +0000 LAvintagestyle 1825574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the jackets are different. Keep the RT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825573 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:41:53 +0000 Susie 1825573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the jacket. I broke down and ordered that one too. The color is the same as your current one but the style and feel are very different. I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825572 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:40:17 +0000 MidwestrnChic 1825572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Joyce. The tweed jacket is fab and has an entirely different visual appeal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825569 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:28:08 +0000 Joyce B 1825569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that RT jacket on you! I hope you will keep it. Your Smythe is in a similar color but the vibe is totally different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arrived-rt-tweed-jacket-rt-la-vie-sweater-aquatalia-booties#post-1825567 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:17:04 +0000 Beth 1825567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPS, USPS, and FedEx have all made appearances in the last day with some very interesting items:)</p> <p>#1 &amp; #2: Rebecca Taylor tweed jacket. This is a size 6, following the size guide on the RT website. It fits perfectly with just the right amount of ease in the shoulder. At first glance, seeing it from the hips up, I thought the peplum might be too dramatic on my short waist, but on seeing it in a full length mirror, the flounce is just right. The fabric feels lightweight but substantial and it's very fluid. Beautifully made with a pale pink lining.</p> <p>I would keep this in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the Smythe jacket I bought at the 2014 NAS. (See Pic #7) They have a similar appearance. Hm...what to do?</p> <p>#3 &amp; #4: Rebecca Taylor La Vie sweater. This is a Small. It's very swingy and feels a bit mod. It's very short, even on me, and might be too short on a very long-waisted torso (or just add a cami?) Not sure I like the way it hangs off my bust from the side shot, but I like the front view. The sleeves are cropped and more bell-shaped than they looked in the stock photo.</p> <p>#5 &amp; #6: Vince Camuto Pleat blouse. This is an XS. Sizing is typical VC. The shoulders and armholes fit, but this is definitely a *very* blousy top. The polka dot pattern is fab, but there's just too much volume for me (it's even more voluminous than the pictures show) so it's going back.</p> <p>The Aquatalia booties are hard to see in the photos, but they're well-made and fit in my usual Aquatalia size. The heels are a little higher than I thought, and they're very polished. I think I might want a pair that are lower and more RATE, so these are going in the undecided pile. </p>
